Do you have an ipad at the moment?
I ask because it uses IOS not MAC OS and there are loads of things I can't do with my ipad I can with the Macbook pro.
If you've tried it and all the programs you want to use are available then, OK, but if not, I'd look into that very carefully because I doubt they are. Even storage if you use an external drive will be a problem.

Unless you have to get rid of MBP, I would suggest keeping it as backup. Cloud storage is ok but if you are out in the field not so reliable. Not sure how good photo editing is on iPad, plenty of other posts on the forum about this, but after years of using iPad (and I really like what it can do) I still find a need for a desktop o/s, some things are just too difficult to work around. Get a good demo on IPP with the software you want to use before scrapping your Mac.
